Mike Ross Home Quotations

I believe it is time for me to begin a new chapter in my life by spending more time with my family and exploring new opportunities here at home in Arkansas.

Before September 11, 2001, our law enforcement officers caught criminals and locked them up, our firefighters put out fires and saved lives and property, and our emergency medical personnel cared for those injured in accidents. We now live in a new era. Our police officers, firefighters, and emergency medical personnel now have an added responsibility as the front line troops for hometown security.

Our volunteer fire departments know their needs better than Washington, D.C. They need more flexibility on spending grant money from FEMA and Homeland Security.
